    What can I say? Stopped here on a Saturday night because my daughter needed some crab legs. We were told we could sit anywhere, so we went to the back. After a few minutes we decided it was way too cold back there and the ceiling tiles had a lot of water damage on them, making me wonder if there was a mold issue. We asked if we could move to the table that just vacated mid restaurant. She graciously obliged. We both ordered the crab legs and chose our sides. Didn't take long before our salads came out. Mine, lettuce, nice sized with lovely French dressing. Hers, coleslaw. Next came out heaping plate of crab legs with drawn butter and my baked potato. And a bucket for the shells. We quickly began cracking those steaming hot crab legs. Sooooo good! My baked potato was on the hard side. Not like raw. But maybe had been sitting around, not at all fluffy on the inside. I heard someone else complain about it as well. The star of the show were the crab legs. No doubt about it. There had to be a pound or a pound and a half. The food has always been good when I've come. The ambiance is going down hill. It's clear the building is having some issues. Replacing the ceiling tiles should be at the top of their list. Maybe that's the least of their concerns. With covid, the salad bar looks like it was closed down, which I understand, but it was kind of covered up in the back near the stained tiles. Other than that, service was great, food was great!

    We come once a year for the AYCE snow crab legs. The Sunday special is $45 and comes with 2 sides. They keep them coming and they're delicious! My son had the grilled cheese with bacon and it was yummy. Our waitress was great. Love the farmers potatoes.

    Hands down some of the best bar food we've had locally.  Gets busy at night, but they do have take out.  Barbara was amazing.

    I don't know what it is about the Rockton bar area, but places like this lack basic culinary…read morescience when it comes to making a burger. FIBs across the street put a tomato next to the bun, which makes the bread soggy near the end. Here, the put the bottom bun, meat, then stack everything on top. The darkness or burntness made the bottom bun look burnt, which messes up the presentation of the burger. The bacon on the burger was buried below lettuce and other toppings. It overall wasn't a terrible burger, but seems like there could have been more thought and time put into the burger. Over Rockton Inn, the place before this, they have an electronic jukebox, which is cool! They also have a claw machine for catching your own lobster for $3. You catch it and they cook it for free! When we went on Sunday, they had a special on Wings for .35 cents a wing. They also had a make your own or waitress does it Bloody Mary station. I think that's a nice touch! I had the waffle fries with cheese here, which seemed a bit greasy, but they were definitely some of the best waffle fries I've had up in this area. I would totally recommend this place for others!

There was a Bloody Mary DIY bar and I don't know if this is a Sunday thing or not but it was a cool touch I am just not brave enough to try one yet but it's on the to do list. Anyway, I visited the old Rockton Inn often and was in love with their Parmesan fries but this one has waffle fries that made me forget all about Rockton Inn. I got the Whiskeys BBQ burger and it was delicious but big, I was unable to finish it. Halfway through my food I did notice the corner of my plate was chopped like it had been dropped a lot. Not a big deal or problem just an observation Overall it was a good experience and I will be returning

    Rockton Inn - Bottom of the bacon burger. Bun looks burnt doesn't it? It's actually just the burger rubbing off on it. Bun was not burnt.

Sat my partner and I in a big beautiful booth and comped dessert for my birthday. Their soups and steaks are great! In my experience with most steakhouses, they tend to cook it a little more than what you requested but not this one. They absolutely gave us steaks cooked as a true medium and they were delish on top of that. The only downside is their potato sides. I do have to agree with the other reviews that they are lacking a bit. What really made up for it was the combo of the fried onions, steak and the herb butter on top of the steak. The ambience is really special and cool. There is true Beloit history in that building and all along the walls. I loved the feel of the place. It gave us such a nice unique cozy experience. Lastly, I loved our waitress. Having been in the restaurant industry for 30 years, it's always appreciative to come across wonderful waiters/waitresses as it's becoming more difficult to find these days. She went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and I had a great experience as a result. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

We started with steak bites and crab, stuffed mushrooms. Pretty good. Salads were good too. Great dressing. Entrées, we had the halibut, New York strip, and filet. All were good but not exceptional. My gold standard for flavor and seasoning is what Eddie V's does. This was not there. The ice cream sundae we had for dessert was great! Great service, new school steakhouse vibe. Overall, pretty good. I will give it another try for sure.!
